1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Ataxia-Telangiectasia (A-T) is caused by biallelic Ataxia-Telangiectasia Mutated (ATM) protein mutations and is hallmarked by neurodegeneration, immunodeficiency and cancer susceptibility. Emerging work suggests that non-coding RNAs are integral to the ATM driven DNA damage response, yet the scope of non-coding RNA perturbation in A-T has not systematically mapped. This study is done to chart and synthesize all primary evidence on ncRNA dysregulation in A-T and to identify mechanistic gaps and research priorities. The evidence base comprises a total of five studies focused exclusively on microRNAs and long non-coding RNAs. Baseline sequencing of 20 patients revealed consistent downregulation of miR-195-5p, miR-30a-5p and miR-342-3p. Low dose γ-irradiation of ATM-null lymphoblastoid cell lines produced an exaggerated bidirectional shift (8 microRNAs upregulated, 6 downregulated) versus wild-type, whereas primary T-cells showed largely ATM independent rises of miR-34a-5p and miR-182-5p. A lymphoblastoid cell lines study distinguished 22 recessive or dominant radiation-responsive microRNAs. Long non-coding RNAs profiling identified 149 transcripts that require functional ATM for induction and three uniquely upregulated in A-T cells. No circular RNA study in A-T is observed till date. The ncRNA research in A-T is nascent with five studies present a miRNA dysregulation and an ATM-dependent lncRNA surge that is lost in A-T, but leave circRNAs, neuronal tissues and functional validation unexplored. Intermediate dose stress models, total and small RNA-seq under DNA damage and oxidative stress, and CRISPR rescue/knockout screens in patient derived organoids are immediate priorities for exploring the role of ncRNAs as therapeutic targets in A-T.
